Oncology is the medical subspecialty dealing with the study and treatment of cancer. A physician who practices oncology is an oncologist. The term is from the Greek onkos (ονκος), meaning bulk, mass or tumor, and the suffix -ology, meaning "study of".

The oncologist often coordinates the multidisciplinary care of cancer patients, which may involve monitoring, physiotherapy, and invasive care.
